Winemaking:
healthy grapes are harvested by hand when it established the right balance between sugar
content and acidity. After this, healthy grapes are put in boxes and kept in a cold storage for 24 hours. In this way we can obtain a cold maceration to transferring homogeneously all the fragrant aromas from the skin to the flesh. The grapes are destemmed and then gently pressed to obtain the separation of the “must flower” from the marc. Through the subsequent cleaning process of the must we carry out the natural and cold static decantation. The decanted must ferments in steel tanks with temperature – controlled 13 -15 ⁰c. Afterwards, the lees on the skin activated the alcoholic fermentation that will characterize the particularities of the wine and the vineyard origin balances then from a choice of carefully selected yeasts from us.

Refinement:
It’s a primary step in the evolution of wine because it allows the oenologist to highlight the
advantages of his product and to increase its stability over time. It is performed exclusively in small steel tanks to preserve aromas and freshness of the wine. The wine matures in yeasts for approximately 4 months. We are concerned about this process using the oneologist technique of BATONNAGE. This process ends with the refinement in bottle for at least one month and the following marketing.
